As the Crunch gets set to hit the ice this weekend for the first time at home since then, Mark Holick remains on the staff, but his role is a little different these days.

The Crunch have grabbed five out of a possible six points since Yawney took over as they beat Binghamton and Albany and lost in shootout to Worcester on Sunday and sit three points out of the playoff race right now.

So, how has Holick been handling the transition so far?

He joined me "On the Block" on The Score 1260 on Thursday to talk about it.

"Anytime you can get a chance to learn from someone with a little bit more experience than you, why wouldn't I?"Holick told me. "We're all in this together. We want our team to make the playoffs. If that means he (Yawney) comes in and gives us a hand, then I'm all for it."
